2006 - 98 Thank you to more than 40 library supporters from Lincoln Trail Libraries System who were part of the 600 plus participants in Illinois Library Day in Springfield on March 1. Festivities included a march from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum to a rally at the State Capitol building.  Speakers at the rally included Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White, Illinois State Library Director Anne Craig, Lincoln Library Director Richard Norton Smith, ILA President Dianne Harmon, ALA Executive Director Keith Fiels, and others. Thanks also to the legislators from the LTLS area for taking time to meet with LTLS librarians and hear about the need for increased funding to maintain the important services libraries provide.
